Convert AutoCAD 2D drawing to 3D model in Autodesk Inventor

[Anonymous]

How do you convert/import a 2D AutoCAD drawing into Autodesk Inventor as a 3D model? I need the 3D model to be fully functioning. 

Help is very much appreciated!

In "most" situations I find its almost always easier to just model it from scratch in Inventor using dimensions from the 2d drawing.

But you can also create a sketch in Inventor and import the autocad lines then extrude or revolve or whatever.. or there are some 2d to 3d addins that can assist..

Sounds like you might need the 3d modeling practice anyways 🙂 .. Just model it from scratch..

Hi! I could be wrong but I don't believe there is a tool capable of converting 2D drawing views into a 3D solid. If you know of any, please let me know. Currently, you need to import the drawing views as sketches and then create features based on the dimensions on the views logically. There must be some manual processes involved. You might want to take a look at the following add-on tool for Inventor which might help make the workflow more streamlined.
